Chapter Text
Everything was a blur, those few steps Ace took to luffy so he could protect him, the blinding pain in his chest, his brother's terrified face, everything.
Ever since Ace ate a devil fruit, he no longer felt the cold, being made of fire also had advantages. But now, he could feel it again, the cold slowly taking over his body, he could feel his life leaving his body, he had never been afraid of death, but now that it was happening, he couldn't help but feel scared knowing that he would leave luffy alone, that he was going to break his promise.
An image of a little Ace standing next to a crying little Luffy flashed into his mind.
,,i'm not going to die luffy" he said.
He really was a liar wasn't he?
I'm sorry luffy, he wanted to say, but he couldn't, that was the last thing on his mind before the darkness engulfed him.
